He only uses water-based paints and sells his paintings for around A$300 (US$250).

Patch says the road to becoming a prolific artist is a rough one.

He adds that taking his work seriously helps him from getting too excited.

"I take the performance very seriously. It is entertainment," he said on his website. "Erotic, yes, but non-sexual. It's a gift, it's art."

A gift! Whatever. I find this one to be annoying in just about every way, but it's expert attention whoring, and I suppose I have fallen for it by making it an IotD.

What I do with my own unit, I also consider to be art. It's just not for public display.chrisinhouston Sunday Jul 30 09:54 AM

Yea but is it art???

My wife and I were in Aruba a few years ago and attended an artist show that was coupled with the first tasting of that year's Nouveau Beaujolais (November as I recall). Kind of a wild cocktail party for the sake of art.

Anyway the renowned local artist had an unusual style for producing his big canvases. He would paint the body of a young nude woman and then she would roll on the canvas leaving paint to produce the art. Let me just say that abstract puts it mildly!

This definitely brings that to mind.
